TLDR
This chapter is to explain behavior-based systems and their use in autonomous control problems and applications, and provides an overview of various robotics problems and application domains that have successfully been addressed or are currently being studied with behavior- based control.Abstract:
Nature is filled with examples of autonomous creatures capable of dealing with the diversity, unpredictability, and rapidly changing conditions of the real world. Such creatures must make decisions and take actions based on incomplete perception, time constraints, limited knowledge about the world, cognition, reasoning and physical capabilities, in uncontrolled conditions and with very limited cues about the intent of others. Consequently, one way of evaluating intelligence is based on the creature’s ability to make the most of what it has available to handle the complexities of the real world. The main objective of this chapter is to explain behavior-based systems and their use in autonomous control problems and applications. The chapter is organized as follows. Section 13.1 overviews robot control, introducing behavior-based systems in relation to other established approaches to robot control. Section 13.2 follows by outlining the basic principles of behavior-based systems that make them distinct from other types of robot control architectures. The concept of basis behaviors, the means of modularizing behavior-based systems, is presented in Sect. 13.3. Section 13.4 describes how behaviors are used as building blocks for creating representations for use by behavior-based systems, enabling the robot to reason about the world and about itself in that world. Section 13.5 presents several different classes of learning methods for behavior-based systems, validated on single-robot and multi-robot systems. Section 13.6 provides an overview of various robotics problems and application domains that have successfully been addressed or are currently being studied with behavior-based control. Finally, Sect. 13.7 concludes the chapter.read more

A robust layered control system for a mobile robot
TL;DR: In this paper, a new architecture for controlling mobile robots is described, which is made up of asynchronous modules that communicate over low-bandwidth channels, each module is an instance of a fairly simple computational machine.

The Organization of Behavior: A Neuropsychological Theory
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the first stage of perception: growth of the assembly, the phase sequence, and the problem of Motivational Drift, which is the line of attack.
Intelligence without Representation
TL;DR: Brooks et al. as mentioned in this paper decompose an intelligent system into independent and parallel activity producers which all interface directly to the world through perception and action, rather than interface to each other particularly much.
